1861: Billed as ''[[Our Old House at Home! or Worth not Wealth]]'' the play was to have been performed in the [[Theatre Royal]], Cape Town, by [[Sefton Parry]] and his company as a benefit for "Soldiers' Wives under the patronage of Col. Eustace and the Volunteers" on 15 August, along with ''[[The Middy Ashore]]'' () and a "Scotch Lilt" by [[Miss Powell]]. However due to the unexplained absence of the key actor [[John Howard]], the piece was not played on the night, but replaced by an unnamed play at the last moment.
